You're rambling. Time for your meds?

Welcome to the world you created....

AI Gemini has a take on that; the U.S. under Biden. Unaddressed are the positive impacts of infrastructure spending and the huge corp. investments in semiconductor manufacturing spurred by the gov investment Bill in that sector. Both Bills eclipse anything accomplished by Trump. Compare all of the below to the shit show prevailing 4 years ago right now.

The U.S. economy is currently doing well, despite some recent slowdowns. Here's a quick rundown:

Growth: The economy continues to grow, though at a slower pace than in 2023. GDP growth is estimated around 3.6% for the upcoming quarter [3].

Consumers: Consumer spending is strong, fueled by rising wages [3]. This is a major factor keeping the economy out of recession [3].

Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to combat inflation, but so far it hasn't significantly slowed economic growth [4].

The stock market is also doing well, reaching record highs in 2024 [3]. This is due to a combination of factors, including:

Strong Economy: As mentioned above, the healthy economy is a major reason for investor confidence [3].

Corporate Profits: Companies are reporting robust profits, which is positive for the stock market [3].

Federal Reserve Trust: Investors seem to trust the Federal Reserve's ability to manage inflation and interest rates [3].
However, there are also some potential risks to consider:

Inflation: While moderating, inflation is still a concern, and could worsen if not kept in check [3].

Interest Rates: Continued interest rate hikes could eventually slow economic growth or even trigger a recession [4].

Overall, the U.S. economy and stock market are in a good place right now, but there are uncertainties to watch out for in the future.

B402, Umm, leave aside your insulation, just go to one of the biggest, silliest, most obviously most partisan lies you have ever made here.

"You should have gotten out of the faculty lounge when Carville told ya you were getting out of hand
P - Co pilot smacked ya pretty good on outsourcing......Which leads back to the credibility gap you and dems now have created......You'll lie cheat and ignore the obvious all in the name of politics.... And continue down the path that lead us where we are today.....Great job of creating problems and compounding them and at the same time becoming out of touch and getting weird to boot........
P - Welcome to the world you created......Now clutch your pearls and be as clever as you can insulting people,,,Dems sure don't know how to govern,"

You could not, i'd say, come up with one single objectively respected political commentator who would even suggest Dems were more responsible for the credibility gap which exists in America today. More responsible than Trump and his enablers are. It would not be anywhere near close.

Lies as that from you can only totally erase any small semblance of credit you might deserve at other times. Seriously. You must be able to see that.

The credibility gap Dems have created. One of your biggest ever and most obvious lies. Firstly, there are Trump's record lies. And Trump's belief in Putin's. And:

"Alternative facts" was a phrase used by U.S. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway during a Meet the Press interview on January 22, 2017, in which she defended White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's false statement about the attendance numbers of Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States. When pressed during the interview with Chuck Todd to explain why Spicer would "utter a provable falsehood", Conway stated that Spicer was giving "alternative facts". Todd responded, "Look, alternative facts are not facts. They're falsehoods."[1]
